Tonye’s love affair with community organizing began through music as one of the co-founders of #GroundUp, a mutual aid initiative powered by live music, hosted in one of the city’s most vibrant and celebrated live performance venues – Guilt & Co.
#GroundUp was started as a way to honour the legacy of beloved fallen comrade Randy Ponzio, and to continue his tradition of connecting music to a deeper meaning, and using gatherings to celebrate those who have typically been marginalized or criminalized. This soulful and creative initiative has raised over $200,000 to support grassroots campaigns and service-based organizations in the DTES since its inception, and continues to do so as it celebrates its tenth year in 2022.
